5 use cases

  • Explore an unfamiliar codebase without risking edits

    Use the read-only plan agent to map a new repo and plan changes before touching any files.

    View prompt
    Using the OpenCode repo at anomalyco/opencode, start the plan agent in <project-path> and ask it to summarize the code structure and list the files that would need changes for <task>. Expected output: a structured summary plus a numbered change plan. Verify that no files were edited, since the plan agent denies file edits by default.

  • Hand multistep code searches to a subagent

    Call the built-in general subagent with @general to run complex searches across a repo.

    View prompt
    In the anomalyco/opencode CLI, send a message beginning with @general asking it to find every place <symbol-or-setting> is read or written in <project-path>. Expected output: a list of file paths and line references with a one-line note on each. Verify by opening two of the listed files and confirming the references match.

  • Build a code change with the default full-access agent

    Use the build agent, the default, to make changes in a project after reviewing a plan.

    View prompt
    Using the anomalyco/opencode build agent in <project-path>, implement <change description> and summarize the files you edited. Expected output: a list of changed files and a one-paragraph explanation. Verify by running the project's own test command yourself and reviewing the diff before committing.

  • Install the OpenCode desktop app for daily use

    Download the beta desktop app for your platform and open it without using a terminal.

    View prompt
    Install the OpenCode desktop app from opencode.ai/download for <platform> in the anomalyco/opencode project. Expected output: the app launches and shows its main window. Verify that the installed version matches the download you chose for your architecture (Apple Silicon or Intel on macOS).

  • Install OpenCode into a chosen directory on a shared machine

    Use the install script with OPENCODE_INSTALL_DIR to place the binary where you want it.

    View prompt
    Install OpenCode from the anomalyco/opencode install script into <install-directory> by setting OPENCODE_INSTALL_DIR. Expected output: an opencode binary in that directory. Verify with the install directory check you choose, and confirm that no earlier install takes precedence on the PATH.

How to use Opencode

  1. Check you have what it needs: A terminal on macOS, Linux, or Windows, or the desktop app installer for your platform; One package manager available: npm, bun, pnpm, yarn, or brew; A local project folder you want the agent to work in.
  2. Open anomalyco/opencode on GitHub and read the README and license.
  3. Run npm i -g @opencode/cli@latest (or use brew install anomalyco/tap/opencode-v2 on macOS and Linux).
  4. Change into the project folder and start OpenCode with opencode. (inferred, check the README)
  5. Press the Tab key until the plan agent is selected.
  6. Ask it to map the main modules, entry points, and how the tests are run.

These steps come from our top use case, Explore an unfamiliar codebase without risking edits, which also has a copy-paste agent prompt.
